STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Elfsborg's 3-2 victory at Mjallby on Thursday left them one win away from their sixth Swedish league title as rivals Malmo and Haecken could only draw. Malmo missed a penalty and had a goal ruled out for offside as they were held 1-1 by relegated Orebro. Miiko Albornoz saw his early spot kick saved by Tomer Chenicinski but then made amends by giving the home team a 57th-minute lead. Orebro equalised 13 minutes later as they stretched their unbeaten run to four games.
